if i were u mate, i would buy the cooler and piping, a set of injectors (siemens), a 12psi actuator, a K&N filter and a high flow cat and take it in and get it all done and tuned once, that way u r not paying for multiple tunes.

Just picked my ute up, got the stage 1 done. i love it, the plazmaman piping and cooler are paid for and on the way. My plan is to just go with the pump, injectors, actuator and full exhaust with a custom tune by christmas, see how it goes. More then likely a new clutch and ripshift will be needed. Great customer service with Terry and the team at BPT. Recommend em to anyone.

Been driving my ute round for a couple of days with afor mentioned bits, I could here a noise as i get off the throttle just before my BOV goes, i've been lookin this up and have found it to be called "DOSE". I would have thought that I would not get this noise with the BOV in place? any ideas?

The standard BOV probably doesnt flow enought air for your tune, so the air just goes back through the turbo. Mind you some people get ride of there BOV's as the sound of a DOSE is f**k AWSOME :lol:

ahh yeah, theres a thought, by adjusting the BOV harder or softer, will this allow a greater airflow? what are the effects of toying with the settings of the BOV?

watch this. i'm not sure what actually causes it, from what i've picked up its just excess air the BOV isnt able to get rid of in time.

wait for it to spool up and yeah, you get the idea.

the dose is caused by not having a BOV at all...

as in even taking off the standard one? so i've been thinking. if i soften my bov, that'll allow air to escape easier once its off boost and thus elimnating the DOSE sound and if i harden the BOV then i'll end up with more DOSE before the BOV has a chance to open. am i right?
